For assembly
- a bunch of fresh mint and parsley/cilantro
- 1 cucumber, smashed and chopped

- lettuce leaves for wrapping
Let's get cookin'
- Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F.

- Spread the rice mixture on a baking sheet in an even layer.
- Bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until rice is crispy and golden.

- Prepare fresh herbs by roughly chopping mint and parsley/cilantro.
- Smash cucumber lightly and chop into bite-sized pieces.

The result is a burst of flavor: sweet and sour, spicy, and wonderfully crunchy. Perfect for hot days, picnics, or as a meal-prep highlight. And best of all, the salad is completely vegan, gluten-free, and can be varied in many ways—for example, with mango, avocado, or peanuts. A real insider tip for those who love something unusual. 🥢🌿
